NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP The performance of Mio Lume in winning the McGuire Steeplechase was liis best to date and lie has made definite improvement since passing into the hands of 1). 1L Russo. Mio Lame appears to stay well and further success should come his way if lie. maintains his present progress. After his good second to Bryce Street at Pukekohe, Day Boy was expected to win the Handicap Hurdles at Paeroa on Thursday but a bad jump at the second to last fence extinguished his chance. Until he made the mistake Day Boy was in a good position and it would be unwise to discredit him for the defeat. His turn might come soon. The winner of the Trial Plate at the Wellington meeting 011 Thursday, Jewish Lad, had his first victory since scoring in the event of the same title at the Woodville Summer Meeting in December, 1935. However, his second in tho Carterton Electric Handicap to Ilion on Saturday was an indication of better things. Ho is now six years old. Pacing has wrought improvement in Celtic Lad and he recorded his best performance to date when he won tho Handicap Hurdles at Pacroa on Thursday. By Little England from a Quin Abbey mare. Celtic Lad has jumping blood on both sides of his pedigree and more should be heard of him during tho year. He looks a likely type to make a steeplechaser. Gold Glare's doable win at Opunake recalls the fact that ( his brother, Corowa, performed a similar feat at tho same meeting two years ago, when, like Gold Glare, he won the first and last flat races on the card. Both were owned and trained by B. C. La, Pouple. Gold Glare had been placed three times previously this season and he is liable to show further improvement. Tho four-year-old Glen Abb is one of tho most-improved horses in Auckland and his victory in the Hikutaia Hack Cup on Thursday was a fine effort. Glen Abb struck his true form just when his owner and trainer were beginning to tiro of him and has won three times in his last four starts. He is bred on sound staying lines and a good middle distance handicap should be well within his reach. It is stated that Buster Brown was very unlucky. in the running of the Bunny Memorial Handicap at Carterton on Saturdayj as ho met interference twice on the journey. His record for the season to date is 20 starts for seven wins and five minor places, having won six times in his last 11 appearances, so lie is not ono to bo discarded lightly for tho rest of tho autumn racing. The" good impression Gold Eagle created when, she finished second at her first start at Pukckoho was deepened when she won the Awaiti Handicap at Paeroa 011 Thursday. Gold Eagle, who possesses a nice turn of speed, is a throe-vear-old filly by Bronze Eagle from Valtai, by Yalkyrian—To Akitai, by Elysian, and she fraces back to the imported mare Locket, dam of Necklace. Prior to her unexpected success in tho Rimu High-weight Handicap at. Trentham on Thursday. Camilla Horn had won only once previously. This was the Maiden Pace at Carterton two years ago, at which meeting she gained third place last Saturday in the Carringtou High-weight. She is an aged mare by Cape Horn from Conflicting, by Hymnostra from Conflict, who was half-sister to Marsa, the dam of Nightmarcli. When Huntingmoro won two races at Te Arolm as a two-year-old last season it looked as if 110 were going to develop into a good performer but 110 lias proved clifficult to train owing to waywardness on the tracks and has not reached expectations. His second to Te Monowai at Pneroa on Thursday was his best effort this season and he may at last bo settling down. If ho does, ho should be an early winner, as his paco is undoubted. 1
